Oh! and the little guy loves the stuff! :)
Quick Berry Protein Shake
I’m on a protein for breakfast kick at the moment. Normally I stick with eggs making an omelet or cracking open a hard boiled but this weekend I had a full house and they wiped me clean of eggs!
What’s a girl to do?
Cinnamon Spiced Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie
This is the results of that pesky little "I just want something" voice in the back of my head. It’s simple but oh so tasty!

Review: Chiquita Smoothies
I was a bit hesitant when Chiquita asked me to review their new smoothie mixes. I’m not normally a fan of pre-package smoothie mixes or powders as I’d much rather make my own by adding fresh fruit, yogurt and ice to the blender. Just do a search for smoothie and you’ll see how many ideas I’ve posted and to be honest, I make many more that I never tell you about. :) Read more

I don’t know WHAT came over me yesterday. I just felt like cooking ALL day. It started with the Tropical Pineapple Core Smoothie. Then the toddler and I made some Homemade Whole Wheat Thin Crust Pizza Dough for lunch. And the whole time I had this soup on the stove.
Tropical Pineapple Core Smoothie
I came up with this idea a while back when researching what foods aid in reducing swelling. I discovered that pineapple contains an enzyme called Bromelain which is an anti-inflammatory agent.

Quick Pumpkin Smoothie
Yesterday I was looking for a quick, tasty breakfast and smoothies always hits the spot for me. Normally I go straight to the frozen fruit but this time I went for something a bit more seasonal. PUMPKIN!
Way back when I did a produce pick for fresh pumpkin but for the most part I stick to the canned pureed stuff. It’s just so darn convenient!
Cold Brewed Cucumber Tea – Video Post
No toddler this week as I venture into a beverage idea that’s NOT a smoothie. (As I post this I realized all my prior "drinks" have been in the realm of the smoothie. )
So if you are looking to spruce up your water a bit try this simple idea…
The Prickly Pear – Video Post
Yesterday I discovered prickly pears (aka Tuna Fruit) at the grocery store! I’m so glad we picked a couple up. The toddler and I had fun exploring this new healthy food together this morning.

The title says it all! This is our first papaya and I think Ryan liked it more then I did!

According to NutritionData, it is also is a good source of Potassium, Vitamin A, and Folate.
